Resumen

La integración curricular desde una perspectiva STEAM transdisciplinar representa un profundo desafío. Este estudio profundiza en una comprensión transdisciplinar de la Educación Primaria y el rol del arte en dos proyectos STEAM a través del concepto de gran idea. Han participado 111 estudiantes de ocho grupos (11–12 años) de un programa para alumnado con altas capacidades, junto con cinco profesores y cuatro profesionales externos. Desde el rol de profesores e investigadores, se ha empleado la observación participante y no participante, grabaciones de vídeo, entrevistas individuales y grupales, diarios de clase y cuestionarios, triangulados y codificados a través de la Teoría de la Actividad mediante el software Atlas.ti8 y el análisis estadístico. Los resultados evidencian la significatividad del aprendizaje y la construcción de experiencias significativas, relacionadas con un grado elevado de motivación y de satisfacción, así como a la integración de diversas áreas en un proceso participativo, en el que el arte ha jugado un rol disciplinar e integrador. Se presenta una aproximación STEAM Transcisciplinar que podría resultar paradigmática para el ámbito de la Educción Primaria.
